Many love to believe that the news they watch or the media in general is neutral. Ironically, these are the same people who say that Fox News has a right-wing agenda and cannot be trusted. Let's be honest, the media is dominated by left-wing perspectives. So much so that when one channel puts out a different perspective, the left creates a campaign to destroy it - i.e., Fox News. The term media is not inclusive to just the news either. Media includes the news, movies, television, books, magazines, newspapers... you get the drift.
The media used to be covert when promoting left-wing agendas and demonizing conservative capitalists. In the past, the left only hinted at their agenda through the media. They of course needed the ability to deny any presence of a leftist agenda to the public. Today, however, the left has so pervaded the media it no longer hides its agenda. Oddly, the media still denies its left-wing tilt even as their behavior becomes more outrageous. How stupid do they think we are, or maybe, how stupid are we?
It seems that no matter where we turn these days, the media is shoving its leftist agendas down our throats. The sad thing is, many people are completely oblivious to it. That's the nerve wracking part - the left so dominates the media that it has made it the norm to hear anti-American, anti-conservative, anti-capitalist statements. This is the type of thing that used to get one black-balled from the entire entertainment community. Now, you are black-balled from the media when you promote American values. Does anyone else see a problem here?
Just to prove a point, below is a list of all types of media that outwardly attempt to demonize conservative, capitalist thinkers and beliefs. Please comment and add to our list. The arrow with the most toxic poison is the one laced with the truth!
**SEX & THE CITY: "SHORTCOMINGS" (TV, HBO, 1999) - As much as I love this show, its writers love to promote a liberal agenda. And no, it's not through a sexual topic or outrageous scene. In the episode Shortcomings, the writers make it cool to be liberal and equally cool to bash conservatives. The lead character, Carrie, meets a man with a great family. The man's mother is a worldly writer, former member of the peace corps, and otherwise super cool woman that she loves. His sister also happens to be a lesbian. The mother says to Carrie: "I didn't care that she was a lesbian, so long as she didn't turn out to be a Republican." They both share a laugh. There is nothing wrong with being a lesbian, but neither is there anything wrong with being a Republican. How obvious can they get?
**THE FAMILY STONE (MOVIE, 20TH CENTURY FOX, 2005) - This movie was terrible, not only in its shameful attempt to demonize conservatives, but also for its lack of entertainment. Regardless, the movie begins with a conservative woman being taken home to meet her boyfriend's family. She of course, as a 'conservative,' is completely cold and shut off. The family, which is liberal, is fun and fantastic as usual. She is considered weird and uptight because she does not want to sleep in the same room with him in his family's home, especially being the first time she meets them. She is ridiculed as a total outcast. Needless to say, the portrayal of conservatives leaves much to be desired.
**GLEE (TV, FOX BROADCASTING, 2010) - In the first season of another great show, the writers could hardly wait to shove anti-conservative characters into their scripts. A lead character and high school cheerleader, Quinn, gets pregnant. She of course has a conservative, Christian father. So what do the writers have him do? He screams at the mom, loves guns, and kicks out his pregnant teenage daughter. Need I remind you that this is not how conservatives behave. Did Sarah Palin kick out Bristol when she got pregnant? I don't think so. One would think that the liberal media would remember this fact due to their continued focus on it ever since she was named on the ticket. But the media doesn't care. Any chance to influence the public, especially the younger public, and indoctrinate them with ideas like conservatives are hateful and liberals are great, they pounce on.
**KATHY GRIFFIN (COMEDIAN) - Let's just start by saying that this woman is hysterical. That is, as long as she isn't making jokes about politics. She says outrageous things, but she is a comedian and should have the right to do so. Like when she says that Rush Limbaugh dreams of getting jacked-off by Ann Coulter, complete with commentary "Oh yeah, suck it Ann." She gets praise and rave reviews for jokes such as this. If, however, a conservative comedian were making comments like that about liberal figures, one cannot deny that they would not become a media darling. Let's be honest about who gets the praise and who doesn't.
**EAT, PRAY, LOVE (BOOK, PENGUIN BOOKS, 2006) - Have you ever been excited to read a new book, especially when you feel that it may provide good insight or parallels to your own life? This was that book for me. Unfortunately, it's hard to get past the liberal undertones. For example: the book sets out questioning God and all religions really. This grabs a good progressive's attention immediately. The reader is then warmed up with statements like "learn how to speak Spanish, the better to help me communicate with millions of my fellow Americans." page 23. Or making friends with a "Serbian war criminal." As a reader, you start to get the hint that these comments serve a purpose. By page 33 the lead character is name dropping those she wished would sign her petition. Bill and Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and Bono are just some of the names mentioned. I so loved this book and was hoping I was wrong, but by this page I got a feeling that there was a political undertone going on. Then my suspicions were confirmed. On page 48 the writer no longer holds her tongue: " I had the inability even to get upset that the Republicans had just stolen a presidential election..." At that point, I was so disappointed. The book proved to be everything I was hoping it wasn't. A media outlet looking to shove another liberal undertone down my throat. I've yet to finish the book...
**JULIE & JULIA (MOVIE, COLUMBIA PICTURES, 2009)- This enjoyable comedy starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams was a fun feel-good movie. The movie follows Julie, a woman blogging about cooking her way through Julia Child's cookbook, while at the same time documents the life of Julia Child. But of course, once you catch wise to the liberal objective permeating through Hollywood, you cannot help but see it. Apparently, a subtle attempt at demonizing conservatives no longer works, so Hollywood is now obvious in their approach. During a scene where Julie's boss discovers her blog, he says to her, "A Republican would have fired you!" Are people really still arguing that Hollywood has no agenda?!
**WALL STREET (MOVIE, 20TH CENTURY FOX, 1987)-This crime/drama starring Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen was touted by Hollywood and took home several Academy Awards. When a movie starts winning Hollywood awards, you know there must be a liberal slant involved somewhere. In Wall Street, the big bad corporation is taking down a poor little airline and it's union workers. Wait, the Union and its workers are the victim and the corporation is the bad guy? What a shock! I hope you can sense the sarcasm...
**GLEE: "MAKEOVER" (TV, FOX BROADCASTING, 2012)- This entertaining show makes yet another appearance on our list for its overt bias. Liberals are aware of how popular this show is and they have, of course, pounced on the opportunity to throw in their agenda. While Curt is interviewing at Vogue.com with the editor, played by none other than Sarah Jessica Parker, he responds to a question about who his style icons are with "Michelle Obama." Don't forget this is the same SJP who recently hosted an Obama fundraiser at her NYC home. Back on the show's high school set, ditzy character Brittany is running for president. She tells her VP, Artie, "I'll be president and you can make all the boring decisions." Artie's responds with "So I can be Cheney to your Bush." Not to mention the other off hand comments throughout the entire show, like when Brittany says she wants someone to prove that her opponent Blaine was born in this country. Again, who says the media isn't bias?
**WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE WITH ANDY COHEN (TV, BRAVO, 2012)- Bravo puts out reality television that I cannot get enough of. From 'The Real Housewives' franchise to shows like 'Flipping Out' and 'Tabitha Takes Over' this station is a favorite of mine. Unfortunately, as an offshoot of NBC, I cannot get away from its liberal bias. Andy Cohen, one of the station's executives and host of WWHL, happily pushes the liberal agenda like a good comrade. Andy has a game called "Plead the Fifth" were he asks three difficult questions of his guests and they can only take the fifth to one question while answering the others. Andy played this game with guest Rachel Maddow, a left-wing pundit on MSNBC. Every question had something to do with saying something nice about a conservative politician. For example, "Who would rather be stuck in an elevator with: Romney, Gingrich, or McCain?" Then they all laugh as they crack jokes about how awful it would be. At least he was honest about the fact that the most difficult thing for a liberal to do is be civil to a conservative.
**A FEW GOOD MEN (MOVIE, COLUMBIA PICTURES, 1992)- I recently saw this movie again and was reminded how entertaining it is. The movie is about a young military attorney who is put on a case where he finds a high-ranking General has given orders to have a subordinate hazed to death. I could not help but think that this is really another movie with a liberal agenda. The plot revolves around the premise that high-ranking military men are so drunk with power that they order inferior subordinates to be hazed to death. How many movies are released about what heroes our military men and women are in this country? How many military movies show high-ranking officials in a good light? It is so obvious.
**BRIDGET JONES: THE EDGE OF REASON (MOVIE, UNIVERSAL & MIRAMAX, 2004)- In yet another movie that Hollywood drooled over, the liberals are again successful in shoving a liberal agenda down our throats with most of the audience completely oblivious to it. In the beginning of this sweet, romantic comedy the lead character, Bridget, goes to her boyfriend's high-profile work benefit. There she meets his work associate who says he does not believe in charitable giving. Bridget laughs only to find out he is serious. She responds by commenting "this is the type of thing that an old, bald, Tory (which is the British word for conservative) would say." At that point the camera flashes on the party which is all old, white men. Need we say more? Never mind the fact that the rich are the most charitable in this country, or that the United States is the most charitable nation in the world. Liberals are determined to brainwash this nation into believing that success should be punished and that government is a charity.
**THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK II (MOVIE, UNIVERSAL PICTURES, 1997)- In this sequel to the mega-hit Jurassic Park, scientists venture off onto an island where park creator John Hammond engineered and nurtured the dinosaurs for their first few months of life. A hurricane destroyed the containment vessels and the dinosaurs were living freely every since. Actor Jeff Goldblum's character is one of the scientists who ventures onto this island. When John Hammond is confronted with the possibility of his evil nephew exploiting the island and the dinosaurs, he asks Jeff Goldblum's character to save the island as a nature preserve. Jeff Goldblum responds with the comment, "so you went from a Capitalist to a Naturalist, unbelievable." Again, pushing the notion that Capitalism/Conservatism is somehow contrary to the idea of wanting to save nature. This is yet another pathetic example of trying to push the agenda that only liberals care about the environment. I ask liberals to check out the environment around leftist/Communist nations like China, or Russia.
**DAZED AND CONFUSED (MOVIE, GRAMERCY PICTURES, 1993)- In yet another movie glamorizing pot, under-aged drinking, and being a "cool" kid, I was not surprised to find it loaded with anti-American, anti-Conservative messaging. This is a fun movie focusing on typical American high school kids in the summer of 1976. Not only does it exacerbate the idea of how "cool" it is to be a popular kid, but it is flagrant with its anti-American message. In one scene, on the last day of school before summer, the hip, young high school teacher tells the kids that to remember during the bi-centennial 4th of July celebration they are celebrating that a bunch of white slave owners didn't want to pay their taxes. As a historian I can't even begin to go into the amount of historical ignorance that the comment exudes, but let's just say The Declaration of Independence had nothing to do with that sentiment. We must also remember that the filmmakers were no doubt educated by the leftists in our education system, so that is likely what they were taught themselves. Poor fools. In another scene, one student remarks that they wanted to go to law school so they could work for the ACLU and help people that are getting screwed. Not only do the filmmakers know that most of the kids who watch this movie have no idea what the ACLU is, they also know that they will walk away from this movie thinking the ACLU fights for the rights of the little people. Never mind that the ACLU is an extreme-leftist organization that boasts anti-American, pro-Socialist agendas or that it sets-up most of its law suits (meaning that they plant people in situations so they can then turn around and sue). As usual, Hollywood prays on the fact that the masses are ignorant, by design, so they can fill your heads with whatever information they want.
**THE BIRDCAGE (MOVIE, NICHOLS FILM COMPANY, 1996)- Let me start by pointing out that Mike Nichols, who owns that film company that produced this movie, is married to newscaster Diane Sawyer (his fourth marriage) and his grandfather was a leading theorist on anarchism (those who want to overthrow the government). This is just to point out where these people come from and the nepotism that exists in Hollywood. This movie is not surprisingly about a man, raised by a gay couple, who falls in love with a conservative Senator's daughter. Because conservative politicians are evil, they will never let her marry him if they know he has two fathers. So, when the families are to meet, Nathan Lane's character dresses up as a woman to pretend that he is the boy's mother instead of his second father. Nathan Lane's character engages the Senator, played by Gene Hackman, in a conversation about political issues, including gays in the military and abortion. Nathan Lane's character goes on to say that he does not support gays in the military, but then again had discovered that Alexander the Great was a "fag." Because that is, of course, how conservatives talk. He then switches the conversation to abortion were the Senator attempts to sympathize with those that kill abortion doctors, because evil conservatives support the murder of abortion doctors don't you know. Nathan Lane's character goes on to say that they shouldn't kill the doctors, but instead kill the mothers because they were going to abort the child anyway. Of course, the conservative Senator then takes a liking to Nathan Lane's character. This was one of the most ridiculous characterizations of conservative ideals I have ever seen. But then again, how else would Hollywood describe conservatives but as hateful, ignorant monsters?
**THE AMAZING RACE: "YOUR TAN IS TOTALLY COOL" (TV, CBS, SEASON 22, 2013)- This show was, before this episode, one of my favorite television creations. This game show takes teams of two on a race around the world as they attempt to find clues while completing difficult tasks. Enter the Communist producers at CBS. During its twenty-second season, the teams were sent to the Communist country of Vietnam to complete a leg of the race. I was absolutely shocked at what happened next. First, the teams were forced to sit through several performances of a song that glorified Communism (as we learned through sub-titles). Second, as if that wasn't outrageous enough, the teams were then sent to find their next clue at the site where one of our B-52 bombers was shot down during the Vietnam War. Several of our military men died and others were taken as prisoners of war as a result of this disaster. Not to mention the Vietnamese have a shrine set up there to memorialize how they took down the "evil American Empire." This was the most blatant, disgusting example I have yet to include in this list. You really must watch the episode in order to understand my disgust. To make matters worse, when Americans and veterans alike were outraged, CBS initially refused to comment on the matter. Only after a week of outrage did the execs at CBS finally issue an apology, if you can even call it that. As I have said, Communists have stated for over one-hundred years that they would never be able to take down America from the outside, so in order to collapse it from within, they would have to control education and the media. Job well done.
**MODERN FAMILY: "THE WOW FACTOR" (TV, ABC, 2013) - This was another one of my favorite shows until the liberal writers and producers ruined it for me yet again. The character of Jay is married to a much younger Colombian woman. The couple has just had a child. During one scene Jay walks in on his wife speaking Spanish to the baby. He responds by saying, "careful or he will wind up having to push numero dos when he calls the DMV." His wife responds with "by the time he is grown up it will be numero uno." Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. If she loves Colombia so much, why not choose to raise her kids there. Oh that's right, because it is a country run by drug cartels with no freedom. I hate to break it to all of you Spanish speakers, but America was founded by English speaking individuals. It is our language so get used to it. It's called assimilation, you all might want to look it up. Sadly, there was a time where immigrants were proud to be able to speak English and be American, but that is no longer.
**CLUE: THE MOVIE (MOVIE, PARAMOUNT PICTURES, 1985) - If you have ever sat through a history course covering the McCarthy era, I'm sure your liberal professor informed you that it was all a big government hoax. Never mind that Joesph McCarthy was absolutely correct, and that thousand of Communists were hiding in our education system, media outlets and government. Never mind that their goal was to rid the world of Capitalism, freedom and ultimately America. Just be a good, uniformed liberal and listen to your professors. This leads me to the movie Clue, based on the murder-mystery board game. Being based on a board game you would think there was no way that liberal politics could be a part of the story. Oh, how wrong you were. This movie has three alternate endings, everyone a bit different from the last, with the exception of one thing. The blackmail portion of the movie was all about government creating a red herring to cover-up its own sinister motives. In all the endings, the only similarity is that Tim Curry's character claims that Communism was just a red herring. Driving home the point that so many of our Communist professors indoctrinate our youth with; Communism is the victim. Tell that to the millions who have died at the hands of Communist dictators around the world.
**MIAMI RHAPSODY (MOVIE, HOLLYWOOD PICTURES, 1995)--this comedy, starring Sarah Jessica Parker (Gwyn), scrutinizes marriage while looking at the relationships surrounding engaged Gwyn. Everyone surrounding her is married, and most are having affairs. While speaking to her father (played by Paul Mazursky), he tells her that he is not perfect and she needs to know this because she and her siblings put him on a pedestal. She tells him, "don't worry, we lowered it when you voted for Bush." I mean, could they be anymore obvious?
